## Resource

Most of us were raised to believe that obedient children are safe children. I take on that myth head-on in this episode, because the reality is the opposite. Kids who can't say no at home can't say no to a bully, a coach, or anyone who crosses a line. In this episode, I walk through the steps to raise children who can advocate for themselves without becoming disrespectful. Feeling called to bring this work to other parents?
